Abstract:

The behavior of other users was related to the perception of crowding at the Sylvania Recreation Area in the Ottawa National Forest in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Perceived density and being bothered by other users' behavior interact to influence the perceptions of crowding. Implications for management might include "behavioral zoning" and silvicultural management strategies which will reduced conflict among users with differing behavioral norms. Forest Sci. 28:95-105.
